Rural areas cover 52% of the EU’s territory and are home to 112 million people. They find employment not only in the agricultural sector, but also in the food industry and tourism, which employ nearly 15 million people.
However, rural areas still face many societal challenges, including high unemployment, lower income and lack of infrastructure and services. The rising urbanisation combined with the loss of "young talents" and decreasing income due to high overhead costs, has raised eyebrows in Brussels. In response to an ageing rural population, EU policy-makers are also exploring ways to bring young people back to farms.
Rural development has therefore become an increasingly political priority over the past 30 years. The Cork2.0 declaration in 2016 further links European agriculture to the social dimension for “a better life in rural areas”. The CAP could and does help social cohesion and growth in rural areas, particularly in synergy with other EU policies and funds.
Ahead of the CAP review at the end of 2017, EURACTIV organised a workshop to discuss how to improve the CAP for both farmers and rural communities. Questions included:
- What have the CAP and first Cork declaration achieved for rural areas?
- What is the way forward for the CAP post-2020 in ensuring rural areas are not left behind?
- How can the CAP go beyond agriculture to support the local economy? How can collaboration with other EU and local institutions be strengthened?
- How can agriculture and other sectors of activities (tourism, renewable energy, handcraft) reinforce each other? What contribution can they give to rural development?
- How can women, young people, immigrants and other groups be better integrated in the development of rural areas?
- Could the introduction of new technologies and precision farming be used as a motivation to attract young people?
The event is organised in the framework of the project Do we take the CAP for granted?

Rural development

Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in relatively isolated and sparsely populated areas.

Rural development has traditionally centered on the exploitation of land-intensive natural resources such as agriculture and forestry. However, changes in global production networks and increased urbanization have changed the character of rural areas. Increasingly tourism, niche manufacturers, and recreation have replaced resource extraction and agriculture as dominant economic drivers. The need for rural communities to approach development from a wider perspective has created more focus on a broad range of development goals rather than merely creating incentive for agricultural or resource based businesses. Education, entrepreneurship, physical infrastructure, and social infrastructure all play an important role in developing rural regions. Rural development is also characterized by its emphasis on locally produced economic development strategies. In contrast to urban regions, which have many similarities, rural areas are highly distinctive from one another. For this reason there are a large variety of rural development approaches used globally.

Rural area

In general, a rural area or countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word "rural" as encompassing "...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural."

Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, though so are others such as forests. Different countries have varying definitions of "rural" for statistical and administrative purposes.

The 2030Agenda recognises that migrants can make important contributions to sustainable development. However, the current global migration crisis risks detracting from and derailing the many positive aspects of migration. Migrants may move to escape a range of distressing situations, from violence and conflict to poverty, climate change, and food insecurity. For the large number of migrants that move from rural areas, the underlying drivers of distress migration can stem from a lack of investment in agriculture and rural development.

Infrastructure Fueling Rural Economic Development

This fourth America’s RuralOpportunity panel considers rural infrastructure and how well planned and coordinated infrastructure investments can advance rural economic development. What qualifies as “infrastructure” in rural America? Well, it encompasses the usual – roads, water lines, bridges and sewers. But in rural places, it also includes broadband and other constructed assets like airports, marinas, and even specialized facilities like kitchen incubators.
Rural community and economic prosperity depends on having the right infrastructure – and innovative solutions to providing that infrastructure are needed in rural places. But many strategies to repair and expand infrastructure that are gaining traction across the United States rely on public-private partnerships, and, with fewer pla...

Using Education for Rural Development

Rural communities in the South continue to face serious challenges in getting highly educated students to return home after college graduation. Research indicates that education may be a cause and effect for this rural “brain drain” phenomenon, and also the key to reversing the trend. Studies have shown that efforts to improve rural education contribute to rapid economic development in those areas, while a more educated community can serve as a catalyst for business expansion and increased civic engagement. This complimentary webinar, presented by CSG South/SLC, highlights the impact of education on rural development and examines initiatives in rural communities to entice educated former residents to return and invest in their hometowns.

Pres. Trump promotes rural development in Nashville speech

WASHINGTON (AP) — PresidentDonald Trump is set to pitch his efforts to help rural America, promoting his tax overhaul law and economic development plans on a visit to Tennessee on Monday. He's also reserving a seat at the national college football championship game.
Trump will become the first president in a quarter century to address the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. With the trip to Nashville, he will unveil a report the White House says will include proposals to stimulate a segment of the national economy that has lagged others.
The White House released excerpts of the president's prepared remarks Monday. Trump plans to say that most of the benefits of the legislation are "going to working families, small businesses and family farmers."
The $1.5 trillion package that Trump signed into law last month provides generous tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans, and more modest reductions for middle- and low-income individuals and families.
Trump also plans to tout the doubling of the threshold for the estate tax and the ability for companies to immediately write off the full cost of new equipment. He plans to say that "in every decision we make, we are honoring America's proud farming legacy."
Central to the report will be the assessment that the "provider for an equalization among rural America is connectivity; that high-speed internet should remain a high priority for the administration," said Ray Starling, the special assistant to the president for agriculture, trade and food assistance. The report calls for expediting federal permitting to allow for broadband internet expansion in rural areas and for making it easier for providers to place cell towers on federal lands.
Starling said Trump will use the appearance to highlight the impact of the tax overhaul on farmers and small businesses. The president will also take credit for working to roll back the Obama administration's interpretation of the Clean Water Act, which greatly expanded the list of bodies of water subject to federal regulation. The FarmBureau ran a public relations campaign against the rule and called it "dangerous and unlawful."
The Agriculture and RuralProsperityTask Force report will also highlight the importance of addressing the opioid crisis, which has disproportionately affected rural communities, Starling said.
Briefing reporters Friday before the president's speech, Starling said Trump will call on Congress to renew the farm bill this year. The massive federal legislation funds federal agriculture and food policy, and it provides for rural communities.
Trump formed the task force, which includes representatives from Cabinet agencies and independent agencies like the Federal Communications Commission, in an April executive order.
From Nashville, Trump will travel to Atlanta to watch Alabama's Crimson Tide and Georgia's Bulldogs face off Monday night in the College Football Playoff National Championship. The game is set for Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the new $1.5 billion home field of the Atlanta Falcons.
ESPN, which is televising the game, said Sunday that it appeared unlikely Trump would be interviewed during the game. Stephanie Druley, ESPN senior vice president for events and studio programs, said that the network had been in contact with the White House and that she did not "get the sense" that an interview would be arranged.
Trump criticized ESPN in October in response to "SportsCenter" host JemelleHill tweeting that the president was a "white supremacist."
A network often seeks an interview with the president when he attends a game it's televising.

This fourth America’s RuralOpportunity panel considers rural infrastructure and how well planned and coordinated infrastructure investments can advance rural economic development. What qualifies as “infrastructure” in rural America? Well, it encompasses the usual – roads, water lines, bridges and sewers. But in rural places, it also includes broadband and other constructed assets like airports, marinas, and even specialized facilities like kitchen incubators.
Rural community and economic prosperity depends on having the right infrastructure – and innovative solutions to providing that infrastructure are needed in rural places. But many strategies to repair and expand infrastructure that are gaining traction across the United States rely on public-private partnerships, and, with fewer players in the mix, it can be challenging to forge those partnerships in rural places. Thus, rural leaders greatly value tailored federal programs like EPA’s Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, USDA’s CommunityConnect Grants, and USDA’s Community Facilities Grants. This panel will highlight how leading rural organizations are pulling together a wide array of tools to utilize those programs and build and maintain infrastructure that is critical to advancing their regional economies and the wellbeing of their residents.
Featured speakers include BariTalley and Eric Cutright of the Karuk Tribe, Justin Taylor of Clayton, and BeverlyWalker and John Auker from DeltaCuisine.

The secret to thriving rural communities: Terry Brunner at TEDxABQ

As Director of Rural Development for New Mexico, Terry Bruner travels to rural communities all across the state. As such, he's got a unique vantage point on what makes some communities thrive while other falter, and at TEDxABQ 2013 he presents what he's learned.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

Benefits of financial instruments from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development

Rural development in Europe: How can the CAP support social cohesion and growth?

Rural areas cover 52% of the EU’s territory and are home to 112 million people. They find employment not only in the agricultural sector, but also in the food industry and tourism, which employ nearly 15 million people.
However, rural areas still face many societal challenges, including high unemployment, lower income and lack of infrastructure and services. The rising urbanisation combined with the loss of "young talents" and decreasing income due to high overhead costs, has raised eyebrows in Brussels. In response to an ageing rural population, EU policy-makers are also exploring ways to bring young people back to farms.
Rural development has therefore become an increasingly political priority over the past 30 years. The Cork2.0 declaration in 2016 further links European agriculture to the social dimension for “a better life in rural areas”. The CAP could and does help social cohesion and growth in rural areas, particularly in synergy with other EU policies and funds.
Ahead of the CAP review at the end of 2017, EURACTIV organised a workshop to discuss how to improve the CAP for both farmers and rural communities. Questions included:
- What have the CAP and first Cork declaration achieved for rural areas?
- What is the way forward for the CAP post-2020 in ensuring rural areas are not left behind?
- How can the CAP go beyond agriculture to support the local economy? How can collaboration with other EU and local institutions be strengthened?
- How can agriculture and other sectors of activities (tourism, renewable energy, handcraft) reinforce each other? What contribution can they give to rural development?
- How can women, young people, immigrants and other groups be better integrated in the development of rural areas?
- Could the introduction of new technologies and precision farming be used as a motivation to attract young people?
The event is organised in the framework of the project Do we take the CAP for granted?

E-commerce Strategies for Rural Development: A Best Practice from China

Three billion people in developing countries live in rural areas. They include the majority of the world’s poor. According to a 2016 OECD report, it appears their numbers will continue to grow until 2030.
In this video, the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba invites aspiring entrepreneurs to join its e-commerce initiative to foster rural development in China. The "Rural Taobao Partner" initiative encourages young workers in urban China to return to their rural villages to start businesses helping the village people to go online and benefit from the internet.
This e-commerce strategy from China was highlighted by Alibaba Vice President and General Manager of Rural Taobao, Lijun Sun, during his keynote speeches at the UNCTAD meetings E-commerce Strategies for Rural Development and Entrepreneurs Empowering Entrepreneurs through E-commerce and E-services during UNCTAD E-commerce Week. The video was screened for the first time outside of China at the meetings.
E-commerce strategies for rural development are one of a number of e-commerce strategies which can help foster economic growth, create jobs, reduce poverty and promote trade in developing countries. UNCTAD's ICTPolicy Review (ICTPR) Programme provides technical assistance and advisory services at the request of governments in the areas of e-commerce and ICT national planning, conducting diagnostics and developing a national e-commerce strategy and other e-commerce strategies.
UNCTAD's ICTPR Programme makes use of an integrated, multi-pillar assessment and enabler framework of strategic policy areas including ICT infrastructure and telecom services; logistics and trade facilitation; electronic payments; skills development, and others to promote development. Further information on the Programme can be found at: unctad.org/ictpr.

Pres. Trump promotes rural development in Nashville speech

WASHINGTON (AP) — PresidentDonald Trump is set to pitch his efforts to help rural America, promoting his tax overhaul law and economic development plans on a visit to Tennessee on Monday. He's also reserving a seat at the national college football championship game.
Trump will become the first president in a quarter century to address the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. With the trip to Nashville, he will unveil a report the White House says will include proposals to stimulate a segment of the national economy that has lagged others.
The White House released excerpts of the president's prepared remarks Monday. Trump plans to say that most of the benefits of the legislation are "going to working families, small businesses and family farmers."
The $1.5 trillion package that Trump signed into law last month provides generous tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans, and more modest reductions for middle- and low-income individuals and families.
Trump also plans to tout the doubling of the threshold for the estate tax and the ability for companies to immediately write off the full cost of new equipment. He plans to say that "in every decision we make, we are honoring America's proud farming legacy."
Central to the report will be the assessment that the "provider for an equalization among rural America is connectivity; that high-speed internet should remain a high priority for the administration," said Ray Starling, the special assistant to the president for agriculture, trade and food assistance. The report calls for expediting federal permitting to allow for broadband internet expansion in rural areas and for making it easier for providers to place cell towers on federal lands.
Starling said Trump will use the appearance to highlight the impact of the tax overhaul on farmers and small businesses. The president will also take credit for working to roll back the Obama administration's interpretation of the Clean Water Act, which greatly expanded the list of bodies of water subject to federal regulation. The FarmBureau ran a public relations campaign against the rule and called it "dangerous and unlawful."
The Agriculture and RuralProsperityTask Force report will also highlight the importance of addressing the opioid crisis, which has disproportionately affected rural communities, Starling said.
Briefing reporters Friday before the president's speech, Starling said Trump will call on Congress to renew the farm bill this year. The massive federal legislation funds federal agriculture and food policy, and it provides for rural communities.
Trump formed the task force, which includes representatives from Cabinet agencies and independent agencies like the Federal Communications Commission, in an April executive order.
From Nashville, Trump will travel to Atlanta to watch Alabama's Crimson Tide and Georgia's Bulldogs face off Monday night in the College Football Playoff National Championship. The game is set for Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the new $1.5 billion home field of the Atlanta Falcons.
ESPN, which is televising the game, said Sunday that it appeared unlikely Trump would be interviewed during the game. Stephanie Druley, ESPN senior vice president for events and studio programs, said that the network had been in contact with the White House and that she did not "get the sense" that an interview would be arranged.
Trump criticized ESPN in October in response to "SportsCenter" host JemelleHill tweeting that the president was a "white supremacist."
A network often seeks an interview with the president when he attends a game it's televising.

Infrastructure Fueling Rural Economic Development

This fourth America’s RuralOpportunity panel considers rural infrastructure and how well planned and coordinated infrastructure investments can advance rural economic development. What qualifies as “infrastructure” in rural America? Well, it encompasses the usual – roads, water lines, bridges and sewers. But in rural places, it also includes broadband and other constructed assets like airports, marinas, and even specialized facilities like kitchen incubators.
Rural community and economic prosperity depends on having the right infrastructure – and innovative solutions to providing that infrastructure are needed in rural places. But many strategies to repair and expand infrastructure that are gaining traction across the United States rely on public-private partnerships, and, with fewer players in the mix, it can be challenging to forge those partnerships in rural places. Thus, rural leaders greatly value tailored federal programs like EPA’s Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, USDA’s CommunityConnect Grants, and USDA’s Community Facilities Grants. This panel will highlight how leading rural organizations are pulling together a wide array of tools to utilize those programs and build and maintain infrastructure that is critical to advancing their regional economies and the wellbeing of their residents.
Featured speakers include BariTalley and Eric Cutright of the Karuk Tribe, Justin Taylor of Clayton, and BeverlyWalker and John Auker from DeltaCuisine.

Using Education for Rural Development

Rural communities in the South continue to face serious challenges in getting highly educated students to return home after college graduation. Research indicates that education may be a cause and effect for this rural “brain drain” phenomenon, and also the key to reversing the trend. Studies have shown that efforts to improve rural education contribute to rapid economic development in those areas, while a more educated community can serve as a catalyst for business expansion and increased civic engagement. This complimentary webinar, presented by CSG South/SLC, highlights the impact of education on rural development and examines initiatives in rural communities to entice educated former residents to return and invest in their hometowns.
